Description

The V8 is a correct-spec 383 cubic-inch unit. Its presentation is quite nice with the mirror-like air topper, shining silver presentation, and the "M" logo valve covers that are perfect '50s cool. In fact, they were so mindful about the restoration/rebuild of this motor that it even has the correct Holley four-barrel carburetor on top. The undercharge photos tells you nothing was overlooked when they worked on this wagon. With this kind of investment in the build and proper maintenance ever since, the powerful V8 fires up nicely and idles like a smooth Mercury should. The same effortlessness can describe the ride and its overall demeanor on the road thanks to feature like the three-speed automatic transmission and power steering. Just to make sure this Commuter is truly a great cruising machine, it has the superior stopping power of front disc brakes.
